Thanks, David Richards! -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist." From:  Moongarden's "Solaris." Back to top

Is there someone who can record this in high quality? Thanks very much! -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: June 23 2009, 14:59 Well looks like I can record it after all! I'm now home early and ready with my Macbook hooked on my digital decoder! -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: June 23 2009, 15:20 For the folks tuning in right now, Mike will be after the 21:00 news (BST time). Unfortunately, my digital decoder has some errors, and sometimes completely looses its signal. So I hope this won't happen during the interview! -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: June 23 2009, 17:34 Yes - a good interview there with TB 2009 playing alongside. I thought Radcliffe and Maconie were over-excited and manic tonight, [they are such great minds of information!], so I was relieved that the interview had been taped - I had visions of Mike not getting a word in edgeway. Radcliffe's easy down to earth manner brings out Mike's natural side , and he put interesting but short questions to him - all about TB. It felt quite moving in places, particularly when Mike recalled how he felt when John Peel played the whole TB album -"a little tear dropped" he said.   -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon.

Steve Broughton is now an antiques dealer in Barnet,..Brilliant Stuff.Great interview,and both Radcliffe and Maconie were very complimetentary towards Mike there...Wholly agree on the "quirky primitavisim" comments as well from Mr Maconie.

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: June 24 2009, 09:36 Nice interview! What I found it very curious was the fact that Mike said that he was much of a live performer before getting into the studio,and nowadays we all know that he's now more confortableas a performer inside the studio enviroment than live ! -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top
